Philip Cheng

Phil Cheng is our fixer in Shanghai; large corporate reorganizations; joint venture strategies; navigating data protection rules; difficult employee terminations. These are the things that people have gone to him for.

He started as a China corporate practitioner focusing on M&A and FDI in 1999, before the legal services market expanded under WTO. These days, he does much more, handling some of the most entrenched issues for household names and international businesses within the region.

Phil walks Western enterprises through the legal and commercial landscape during the entire life-cycle of their investments and dealings in China. Many of his sector areas of focus are heavily regulated-- pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, industrial products, automotive, and hospitality.

He is the person you want in strategy sessions, crisis situations and where difficult judgment calls need to be made.

He is listed as a Leading Individual in the Employment practice by Chambers Asia Pacific and IFLR 1000 and is also recommended for Corporate and M&A in China by Legal 500 Asia Pacific.

'Philip Cheng is 'an expert with a depth and breadth of experience' and is 'extremely responsive and makes himself very available'.
